A video image encoding device includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a noise distribution within a target image to be encoded and included in a video image. The processor may limit sizes of blocks to be used for video image encoding of the target image to one or more sizes among multiple selectable sizes when it is determined that the noise distribution within the target image to be encoded is a predetermined noise distribution. The processor may also encode the target image by executing the video image encoding using the blocks of the one or more sizes.

To allow a finer quantization control according to the property of an image within a macroblock, quantization parameter values are allowed to be changed in units of sub-blocks equal to or smaller than the macroblock in a similar manner as in motion compensation and orthogonal transform processes. A finer-tuned quantization control is performed, for example, by selecting fine and coarse quantization parameters respectively for corresponding sub-blocks if a plurality of images having different properties coexist within the macroblock.
